His detention comes as anti-terror officers continue the hunt for Belgian Salah Abdelslam, one of the suspected bombers, who has been described as the Paris attack's 'logistics manager'.

Officers pulled over Abdelsam on Saturday morning on the A2 motorway between Paris and Brussels. He was travelling with two other people, just hours after he abandoned a car containing three Kalashnikov AK-47 assault rifles on the outskirts of the French capital.

Detectives soon realised their blunder when they discovered that Abdeslam had rented VW Polo abandoned near the scene of the massacre inside the Bataclan theatre.

However, by the time they alerted Belgian authorities the terror suspect had abandoned the car in Molenbeek, Brussels, an area known as the 'jihadi capital of Europe' and disappeared. An international manhunt has been launched.

A Belgian security source told Het Nieuwsblad that police have been searching for Mohamed K, and fear he might be using the country as a safehouse.

Belgium has also stepped up the hunt for Salah Abdelslam, who has been described as the 'logistics manager' of the Paris attacks

The said: 'Even more than Salah Abdeslam, he is the man we need to find as quickly as possible.'

Meanwhile police are also said to be searching for Youssef Bazarouj, who is believed to have been part of a team of three attackers, who carried out the shootings at the sidewalk cafés that left dozens dead.

His brother Mohamed's house was raided on Monday by police in the Molenbeek area of Brussels hunting for Salah Abdelslam.

Security and intelligence experts had already said that the suicide vests used by the Paris attackers were made by a highly skilled professional, who could still be at large in Europe.

Seven of the jihadis who died in the attacks wore identical explosive vests and did not hesitate to blow themselves up.

And unlike the attacks in London in 2005 where the bombers' explosives were stored in backpacks, Friday's assailants used the sort of suicide vests normally associated with bombings in the Middle East.

Security and intelligence experts had already said that the suicide vests used by the Paris attackers were made by a highly skilled professional, who could still be at large in Europe

A former French intelligence chief told the AFP news agency: 'Suicide vests require a munitions specialist. To make a reliable and effective explosive is not something anyone can do.

'A munitions specialist is someone who is used to handling explosives, who knows how to make them, to arrange them in a way that the belt or vest is not so unwieldy that the person can't move.

'And it must also not blow up by accident.'

EXCLUSIVE FOOTAGE OF PARIS ATTACKS SHOWS DINERS DIVING FOR COVER

Terrifying video footage of a sustained attack on a restaurant during the Paris Massacre has been revealed by the Daily Mail.

The exclusive images show the merciless savagery of an Islamic State assassin and the extraordinary bravery and survival instincts of his intended victims.

They also show the incredible luck of a young woman who would have died had the terrorist's assault rifle not misfired as he held the weapon over her head, giving her a chance to run away.

Shocking: Extraordinary video of a sustained attack on a restaurant during the Paris massacre has been revealed by the Daily Mail. Three CCTV cameras inside the premises recorded the heart-stopping moment at least 30 bullets were fired from the street, leaving the pizzeria engulfed in dust and splintered glass as terrified diners ran for cover behind counters and under tables

Police believe her to be the luckiest person to escape with their life during Friday's psychopathic rampage which left 129 people dead and 99 critically injured.

There is also remarkable footage of a 20-year-old waitress who ducked under the bar and wrapped her arms around an older, injured woman as the Islamic State gunman sprayed the restaurant and its outdoor dining area with bullets.

It is the first time any film has been seen of the mayhem caused inside a property targeted by Islamic State six days ago.

Chilling: The footage also shows the incredible luck of a young woman who would have died had the terrorist's assault rifle not misfired as he held the weapon over her head (circled) as she cowered under a table outside the cafe. He gives up, allowing her to run to safety

The Daily Mail can reveal that the gunman responsible for the attack on the restaurant, which is not being named for security reasons, is believed to be 26-year-old Belgian born Salah Abdeslam.

The terrorist seen in the footage bears a striking resemblance to Abdeslam, who fled Paris after the attacks and evaded capture after a shocking blunder by police near the Franco-Belgian border. He remains at large.

Sources said it was possible a second, as yet unidentified gunman, might have been involved in the restaurant attack. He may still be on the run, too.
